Description

This is a utility script that selectively updates a wiki using another wiki's content, i.e. if you have a public and a private wiki where the public wiki has only partial contents of the private wiki, this script can selectively fetch pages/images from your private wiki and import them to your public wiki. The script can also copy over entire namespaces.

Apart from this the script can translate wikitext from one language to another as well before importing.
